Commercial and Industrial Radon Testing

Indoor radon gas is a national health problem. The EPA estimates 21,000 deaths a year from lung cancer are also radon-related. Approximately 6 million U.S. homes are projected to have radon concentrations above the EPA guidelines of 4 pCi/L. In addition to residential properties, some commercial properties should be tested for elevated radon levels and properly mitigated if radon levels exceed the limit of 4 pCi/L. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas in rocks and soils underneath structures, which is tasteless, odorless, and colorless. The radon migrates through the soil and into a structure through cracks in the foundation, water wells, sump pits, and outside pressures. Aegis Environmental is certified in radon testing and offers the following services:

  • Pre-purchase inspections
  • Pre-listing inspections
  • Mitigation oversight
  • Clearance testing

FAQs For Commercial Radon Testing & Investigation

I need a radon investigation done for a property I manage/own. Can you help me out?
Yes, our team has years of experience and professional certification through state and a National Radon Proficiency Program in the following related areas: pre-listing inspections, mitigation oversight, and post-mitigation testing.

What is radon, and how does it become a problem?
Radon is a radioactive gas that is undetectable by sight or smell. Radon naturally forms when uranium, thorium, or radium in soil or groundwater breaks down. The radon migrates through the soil and into a structure through cracks in the foundation, water wells, and sump pits.

How many units do I need to test?
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that at least 25% of randomly selected ground level units be tested for radon, while the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists – American National Standards Institute (AARST‐ANSI) protocol for Measurements in Multifamily Buildings (MAMF) requires that 100% of the ground-level units, including office space to be tested, and at least 10% of dwellings on upper floors. Lenders or stakeholders may have specific requirements. Stakeholders should discuss the ramifications of limited testing for any building they are considering purchasing or funding.

How long will it take for the testing?
Short-term radon tests take from 48 to 96 hours. Reports are generally available within a couple of days after testing completion.

What is the cost of radon investigation?
The cost will vary depending upon the number of units tested.

Customer relationships and looking after the well-being of the customer. I can't say enough about the care and concern that we received from Marty in testing the property for possible mold and lead paint. He also provided affordable options for handling any of the issues. He was relentless in trying to find the origin of the moisture. These are the things that keep businesses open. I highly recommend Aegis to anyone.

I found Aegis after having a new sump pump system installed. The sump system could not fully finished as it required some cutting in my basement and I had asbestos tile. I needed the tile removed before work could be done. I wasted over 2 weeks on a different contractor who was happy to give me a quote, but never schedule an appointment. In frustration, I reached out to Aegis who immediately gave me a quote, quickly scheduled an appointment, and then showed up on time on the scheduled day. Marty, the tech, was quick, competent, and friendly completing the work in short order. My experience with Aegis was entirely positive, and if I need their services again, I would not hesitate to hire them for the job.

I was in the process of selling my house and needed an asbestos assessment performed. I was on a tight timeline as I closed in a week. Marty was more than accommodating. He worked me into his schedule within three days and I had my results on the fourth day. Thanks to Aegis I could close on time. I would highly recommend.

My husband and I were buying a house and during the inspection, it was discovered that there was an abandoned underground oil tank on the property. I contacted Aegis to have them inspect the tank, complete a soil test, and to empty and fill the tank. Marty called me back almost immediately after my initial phone call to Aegis! He walked me through every step of the process and kept me informed at each stage. He was always available - I even emailed him once after hours and he responded even though I didn't expect a response until the next morning! Marty was so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and he answered each and every question I had (and I had a lot of questions!). Once Aegis emptied and filled the tank, I was sent a report with a summary of the work completed, including pictures. They did a wonderful job in ensuring that the yard looked just like it did before they did any work. When the soil test was completed, I was also sent a report explaining the results along with a graph showing the lab results. I would highly recommend Aegis for any underground oil tank needs, especially Marty!

We recently purchased an older home and wanted to test for certain hazardous materials potentially in the house. AEGIS was able to come out the day of to collect several samples. The technician who arrived was very professional and knowledgeable. He took several samples, addressed all of our questions and concerns and promptly sent the samples out for testing. Thank you AEGIS!

Mike Dempsey
Very Professional ! Once I had the air ducts cleaned out by another company, James noticed that the registers weren't cleaned out. Great detailed Inspection. Did research after James got back to the office, and realized I had a Thermal Tracking problem. Possibility of mold on the back of the drywall. When I add insulation (Thermal Tracking), I'll check on the back of the drywall for mold. Thank You, James !
